FC Dallas used their top MLS allocation slot to grab defender Heath Pearce. The 25 yr old Pearce has 28 caps with the US National Team and should provide an immediate boost to the weak FC Dallas backline. Steve Purdy was released to make roster room. Heath Pearce began his professional career in 2005 with FC Nordsjælland of the Danish Superliga. In his second season with FC Nordsjælland, Pearce helped the club to a fifth place finish, its highest position since being promoted in 2003. In 2007, Pearce signed with Hansa Rostock in Germany where he appeared in 31 games. "Heath is a high quality player who can play a lot of different positions, and we are very excited to welcome him to the club," FC Dallas Head Coach Schellas Hyndman said. "We are really focusing on making our team stronger defensively, and Heath is a hard worker who can help us in that regard."
